Nik Furious: Brilliant Shower
Enter the instrumental. Brilliant Shower is a 13-track trip through the conscious and subconscious minds of Nik Furious. The music is dipped in electronic funk and lightly dusted with rock, surf, jazz, and experimental sounds.
This album was recorded in Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, and Paoli, PA over the course of 5 years from 2004-2009. I intended for most of the songs to become hip hop beats, but they ended up being too complicated or unorthodox to comfortably sit in the back.
